Candy Crevice Cut

Also, Crevice Cut; a cut on your tongue or lip from candy canes, lollipops, and hard candy that developed a thin sharp crevice. The crevice is created by natural holes in the candy that is developed in the cooking process, then thinned out by sucking the candy until there is a partial opening into the hole that tapers into a "v" shape. The tongue, usually a tastebud, slides into the crevice, then upward into the razor sharp edges. This usually causes your tongue to bleed all over your candy, leaving a sweet metallic taste in your mouth.

This candy is so delici....OW!...blast it! I just got a candy crevice cut, and now my tongue is bleeding!!"

"Hey dude! Enjoying that lollipop? Because a candy crevice cut has turned your lemon lollipop red! Ha!"

"I'm not eating another candy cane any time soon! I'm still recovering from a candy crevice cut from the last candy cane I ate! It took out an entire taste bud!"

transdextrous

Actively or passively changing congenital handedness; as in writing
Changing from one hand to another
Changing one’s handedness

I was born left-handed, but my kindergarten teacher forced me to be transdextrous. Now I write with my right hand.

Is it considered transdextrous if I change back to my left hand, after my kindergarten teacher forced me to write with my right hand?

Professionals in the field of psychiatry are still trying to determine how much effect , if any, transdexterity has on the brain.

Copper tan

A tan on the left arm of a police officer, that occurs from driving around for a lengthy period of time, with his left arm hanging out the window. During the summer months, police officers wear short sleeved shirts. But because they spend most of their time in the cruiser, only their left arm gets tanned from the sleeve down to their fingers. The word, "copper" is derived from the nickname given to police, because their badges were made of copper. That term was then abbreviated to "cop".

This is similar to a farmer's tan; in which both arms are effected.

Woman at the beach: Sir! Can you help me? You're a cop, right? Somebody just stole the wallet out of my shoes!!

Man: Sure, I'll be happy to help. But I'm not even in uniform. I'm only wearing swimming trunks. How did you know I was a police officer?

Woman: That's easy! Because you have a copper tan! Oh...and because your beach towel, duffel bag, beach umbrella, and beach chair all have "Police" written in huge letters...and you have a badge pinned to your chest. That must hurt.

Man: It does.

transdexterity

The act of changing congenital handedness; as in writing
The act of hanging from one hand to another
Changing one’s handedness

Transdexterity was once a common practice of kindergarten teachers, when they noticed students writing with their left hand. They believed the child must adapt to the world and its inventions, such as scissors and pencil sharpeners, so they forced left handed children to write with their right hand.

The act of transdexterity was once controversial in the teaching profession. While some teachers believed they were helping naturally left-handed children fit in the world’s standards, others believed the world should adapt to the left-handed children, as they were born.
